Who make the best antipasto plate in town?

[nasilemak]

Does anyone have recommendations? I am looking for an interesting variety as well as good value. Thanks in advance.

I'm very partial to the antipasto at L'Osteria in the North End. Very fresh, very old school Italian traditional, and their salad dressing is fabulous, I wish I had the recipe.

I've got to tell you, I got the grilled and marinated vegetable antipasto
with cheeses & prosciutto at Delfino in Roslindale and it was one of the best I've ever had. Great variety & very flavorful.

Not necessarily "in town" but Appetito in Newton Centre has a very good antipasto

i don't know about "the best" but i am fond of the antipasti at artu in the north end

"Artu" on Charles St. has a great antipasto. You can see it by peeking in the window from the sidewalk!

I think that Teatro(Tremont near Boylston) does a good job for quality and value. Nothing really artisanal but pretty good.

The antipasto at Teatro was my favorite but it is no longer being offered on the menu. Since they have transitioned to offering small plates many of the items can be ordered individually but it is just not the same at the original platter that they used to offer.

Really? Is that true? That was one of the best dishes in Boston, IMO. I'm so bummed.

[Alcachofa]

What?!?!? That stinks. Teatro was also my favorite. Crap.

I'll ditto the DRAT to the loss of the best antipasto in beantown at Teatro.

Traditional red sauce italian antipasto plate? Imported and artisan salumi? House made charcuterie? For value and selection you might want to check out Vinny's at night, although it doesn't exactly fall into any of these buckets. Gran Gusto is one good option for imported. A lot of restaurants are offering house made charcuterie and in some cases salumi (butcher shop, rendezvous, bina osteria, eastern standard... and the list goes on).

At the Blue Room in Cambridge, 2 of us always split their ample platter with its wonderful roasted veggies, array of cured meats, olives, etc. at the bar before a movie nearby:

"roasted local farm vegetables, crispy flatbread 9
add artisanal cured meats 12"

oh yes - I second this rec. It's so good!
